CHICAGO, Nov. 1l.-At clock change
was made in the death watch. Deputy
Hartke had been guarding Spies since 5
O'Clock. He reported that he had quite a
long talk with the anarchist Spies de
clard that he had no reason TO be afraid
and launched forth i'll a TRADE against the
courts He asserted that all the Judges
who had any connection with the case has
reason to trembIe while the anarchists
could hold up their heads and walk to
death with steady footsteps. The deputy
also related the manner in which the Rev.
DR.. Bolten was received by Spies. The de
vine asked him if he would not accept of
shake of the head declared he had no use

Black Flags, TraHsFareHcies, Etc.

NEW YORK, Nov 11.-Federation of
trades unions and sympathizers with So
cialism paraded last night in respect of
hanging the anarchists in Chicago. No
signs of disturbance occurred. The solemn
march of protest began down Broadway
where large numbers of persons witnessed
the parade despite the inclement weather,
and the scene was particularly impressive
as the long line of men, 5000 strong, passed
down Broad street with red and black flags
all heavily draped in Grape. bands playing
the dead march from Saul and Mar
settles. Transparencies bore inscriptions
far more bioodthirsty and threatening than
anything in general conduct or appearance

were these: Blood for blood Beware

The police keep them moving, and perfect

were refused and requested 10 move on.

While we sincerely hope that the sar

While we sincerely hope that the san- guine feeling entertained by our contem. porary in reference to General Miles friendly disposition for this section, and that he will not succeed in placing the Apaches in our midst may be realized, il Is yet, nevertheless, fact, as stated, tcst orders have been received at Whip pie to be in readiness to assist m moving the Indians, as stated in the JOURNAL MINER of Saturday. and telegrapbed by he associated press agent. The inf r. nation was given out accidentally by an officer at Wbipple. who. as soon as he had realized what he had done, immedi- ately became as uncommunioateive as an oyster, and the most diligent attempt to obtain further information on the sub ject, or to obtain a verification of what he had let drop, proved unavailing The information was given to the associated press correspondent and to the JOURNAL MINER reporter by perfectly reliable gentleman and prominent official. That the information was correct there can be no doubt, but we hope that the occasion may not arise requiring their services

That General Miles is an uocompfo-
 missing enemy to northern Arizona has
 been proven by his esery action since taking command of the department of Arizona. Semi-apologists of his may mince words all they wish. they may try to prove that black IS white, but every intelligent citizen whose range of vision extends beyond his nose and whose pow CTS of reasoningrise above those of an oys- ter knows the fact that General Miles has never heen able to conceal his hostility toward this section. He manifested 1t in ignoring headquarters at Whipple and his attempt to establish headquarters in Albuquerque until peremptorily ordered to vacste his elegant quarters at the San Felipe and reinrn to Whipple. He showed 1t by refusal to stay in Prescott over night, when our citizens desired to give him reception. He has shown it in innunerabie ways, some of them being of the most petty nature. And now we ask why' If for any other motive than that this section has been un~avering in in its friendship for General Crook, the latchet of whose shoes he IS TO, worthy 10 unloose. then we would like for himself or his friends to givei it.

If Tucson papers vould practice what they preach they would assist in devel- oping the resources Of this territory. The Star very iru,hfully says No section of Arizona can be possibly benefited by misrepresenting any other section. The advance Of one section will always prove of advantage to all other mesitorious sections, hence the importance of all pulling together for the general welfare of Arizona This has been the policy which the JouRNAL-MINER has pursued and will continue to pursue. While Tucson papers have been sealously ad- voca,ing the removal of Apache Indians to the Verde reservation. this paper has no, retalia,ed by wishing visitation of smallpox, or yellow fever. or even an Indian outbreak among our southern neighbors. The presence of these In dians in any portion of our territory does the whole territory incalculable injury. Their separation and placing large bodies of them on different reservations would in no way relieve sny portion from dan ger, and would extend the danger to the locality or localities where they might be placed. Southern Arizona would stand in just as great danger from Indian out breaks were General Miles to place his I, 200 pet murderers on the Verde res ervation, while northern Arizona would be mensced as it has not been for years. Eastern people. who read of Indian out breaks, make no distinction as to locality but think of them as being m Arisona, so that the removal of these Indians, so ardently advocated and hoped for by the Tucson papers. would injure the whole territory, and Tucson would suffer with the balance. It is true Yavapai, Apache and a portion of Maricopa counties would be the greatest sufferers, and i, seems to be the disposition of the Tucson editors to advocate . plague from which their own section may suffer, If only northern Arizona can be made to suffer more.

The grand jury of Tucson is to be
 congratulated in presenting an indict-
 ment against Geronimo for murder, and
 i, is to be hoped that the authorities
 there ~iIl be backed up by Governor
 7ulick in their attempt to secure his re-
 turn to this territory for trial The gov
 ernor promised at the outset Of his ad-
 minis,ration to see that these murderous
 cuitbroats were brought to justice
 through the civil courts, and ~e do not
 believe that he has changed his opinion.
 The policy of the war department 10 treat band of murderous bugands as prisoners of war Is false and ridiculous one. There would be just as much sense in treating train robbers If cap tured, as surh. Should band of Mex ican bandits, who ply their vocation in Mexico, cross the line to Arizona and murder, piilsge, rob and kill defenseless women and helpless children, ambush unsuspecting men, and should they be captured and identified, does any one suppose that they would be treated as prisoners of war or claim that they shoufdf And there would be just as much common sense and reason in such a proposition as in treating Geronimo and bis gang with that distinction. So far as known this wily murderer never fought the soldiers of the United States army but did his fiendish dastardly work on unprotected and unsuspecting citi- zens, and he should be returned to the territory, be granted aa fair trial for his crimes. If he os hisattor- neys should claim that it was impossible to obtain q fair trial 10 southern Arizona, where there is a strong prejudice against him let them ger change of venue to Yavapai county We would give him the benefit of every ioubt he might claim here. ard hang ain impartially or without predjudice | md by large majority.
